This week… the UK petrol “shortage”… but is it? People say there’s a food shortage… but we haven’t seen evidence of it. Morrisons is named supermarket retailer of the year. They’re also removing plastic bags from bananas at last. We’ve said for years that bananas have their own coats on! We hear about a list of top UK biscuits… but there’s an imposter in the ranks. Plus… Bake Off returns to TV with poor sound quality, ridiculous bake challenges and a programme that’s too long. Finally… with a 70s vibe of petrol shortages, gas shortages, food shortages… just in time the BBC puts on a new series of Blankety Blank!

We’ve been to Kent and are amazed at how wonderful Folkestone is. It’s worth a visit! We ask if people will stay in the UK next year or will they go back abroad?
